When November rolls around each year since 1997 I start to feel a slump in my nerve and my soul starting to freeze as I brace myself for another anniversary of Michael's death.
I go through stages of listening to his last album and understanding yet another part of the hurt he was trying to deal with.
When someone dies like he did those left behind are left with a loss that stabs at the heart with repeated bewilderment at how someone so loved and so needed could feel so abandoned that he would abandon his earthly shackles for spiritual freedom in another world far from here.
I try not to dwell on his death as it hurts too much to remember but focus upon my memories of him as a young man with stars in his eyes and ambition in his heart.
For those who never met Michael or knew him personally, he was not a perfect human being but a very human one. Funny, sexy, silly, intelligent, hungry and charismatic are words that only touch the aura that surrounded his person. He was for me a truely loved one that I remember well. Rest in peace beautiful boy.

I remember seeing you at my first INXS gig, in 1997 at the Greek Theatre in L.A. I'd been a longtime INXS fan and was glad to see a great band perform a fantastic show, and with all of the roadies in lab coats at that. I didn't know it was to be one of your last. I felt you had a real connection with all of us there, so it was truly saddening to see you go so suddenly. You are truly missed. Every time I think of you I “hear that sound”.
I was lucky enough to see Michael perform many many a times and the energy he brought was phenomenal. I loved to watch him interact with the band and the audience. It was like you were in a hypnotic trance when you looked at him. It was hard to take your eyes off of him on stage. He owned it. I miss him and hope he's at peace. May his family and friends take comfort in the fact that he still lives on in our memories and in his music.

Hard to believe 10 years has come and gone. Your music is still a part of my everyday life. You are missed so much. I hope that you and Paula are together and watching over sweet Tiger. You must be proud, she is a darling girl. I hope that you are happy and have found the peace in heaven, that you searched for here on earth.
Hutch,
Your life was far too short lived. I never got the chance to meet you but feel like I have as I have been touched by your songs.
Although gone you live on in your songs.
“You gave me more to live for;
More than you'll ever know.”

Well, here we are. The tenth anniversary (with the 16 hour time-zone difference). Yet, it still seems like only yesterday. I remember being away at school, seeing it in the local paper. It was before Thanksgiving in the US, so usually I think of him at that time. My teacher told me she saw the band getting cabs in New York City in 1992 during their travels between “Welcome to Wherever You Are” and “Full Moon Dirty Hearts” (she didn't know that part, but I did). I'll admit that despite having heard the hits through radio and MTV growing up, I didn't have any INXS myself until after that, having gradually gotten the whole catalogue and more, which there is still always something more to find. When I hear it, it's like he's still here, you know. As the years pass, it can never take away the memory. Michael, we all miss you and always will.
Michael miss your music, stage presents and love of life. I hope you are in a much happier place and looking down on you wonderful daughter and watching her evolve as the rest of the world is. Lets hope she will have has much enthusiasm for life as you did..............

Here we are again, united for Michael. Like many of you, I've shed tears for him this week, like I have in years past. I can also remember him with great smiles and joy. I was so lucky to have seen him several times; what a dynamic presence! I choose to remember him that way - Full of life, love, mischief...I miss you MH.
So dearly missed...forever in my memory, my youth, my passions, my life...your inspiration grew me...forever in my heart...rest in peace Michael.
I love you Michael!
As this sad 10th anniversary approaches, my thoughts are with Tiger, the band and everyone lucky enough to have known Michael.

God bless you Michael, RIP

Michael, The 10 years have gone by so fast, it still feels like yesterday when I got the call..... Looking back I am so glad I stopped you on the street that night long ago, thinking of you, miss you!!! xo
You are greatly missed Michael. I have several INXS albums playing constantly on my ipod and stereo, including the ringtone on my phone. There is not a week that goes by that I don't play an INXS song or think about Michael. I often watch the best of DVD, Kiss The Dirt is a sensational clip. The double DVD truly keeps your memory alive.
I never got to see Michael perform but have seen the band play twice over the last 2 years. INXS will always be apart of my life.
Rest in peace

When I think back to 10 years ago the pain is as fresh as ever. My world stopped but slowly, over time got moving again. Thanks for the soundtrack to my life Michael. RIP.
Thinking of you always, Michael.
You are sadly missed.
You are sadly missed.
I never met you but I can honestly say thst when I heard you had gone it was as devistating to me as when my grandparents passed away. I was one of the lucky ones who got to see INXS with you as their singer and nothing can ever take that wonderful memory away from me.
Thankyou for those memeories
